- A really big coincidence. - You think?

- Hi, Zac. - Hi, Sabrina.

- Oh, sh*t. - So, you two, um, date?

- Are we dating?

I don't even know if you would call it that.

- Sometimes, it's just -- right? - Danni.

- It's unfortunate. - Guava nectar's good.

I got to go back.

- Wow. You and Zac.

- Yeah.

- Did you know he was my ex?

- No.

- Karen, for the record, would we say that he's an ex?

- Danni. - What?

- Not now. - They were just cutting...

- Shh.

- Could you get us some more wine?

Maybe um... - Snacks.

- Yeah, I'll pay for it. Go away.

- I would like some popcorn

at the other aisle back there. - I'm not buying that.

Be quiet, is what I'm trying to get you to understand.

- Okay. This is awkward. - Is it?

- Look, Zac mentioned a ex but he never said a name.

- Oh, what did he say about his ex?

- Karen, you don't-- - No, no, no.

- No, no, no. We not doing this.

We not doing this. I'm ready to go, come on.

- Hold on, Zac. - Come on. No, no, no.

- This we need to talk about. - Why?

- Look, Andi is my boss and I just started

a friendship with these girls. - Why would you do that? Why?

I didn't know that. - Yeah.

- Listen, I'm not talking about this. I'm not.

- Look, this is too awkward to walk away from.

- Don't look at me like that.

No, it's not. We can walk right now.

- Zac. - We don't owe them nothing.

I don't want to talk about this in the supermarket. I don't.

- Look, can we talk later?

- Sure.

- Girl, it's now or never. That's not gonna happen.

- Zip it, shh. - Look, I had no idea.

- Um, Fatima, did you have any idea

that they were just having sex at her salon?

- Oh, God. Danni. - Danni.

- -- it, I said it.

- ♪ My girls hold me down, them boys mess around ♪

♪ My love life is a headache

♪ We're going out tonight

♪ 'Cause I'm looking for love ♪

- Did you know that? - Ah, damn.

- No, I didn't. - Zac.

- ZAC: What? - DANNI: Tell her.

- Tell her what? - What time was this?

- None of your business o'clock.

- Karen, no, no, no, tell her. - No.

- Wow, y'all two -- gonna really stand her and act like exes.

- We are. - We are.

- That's bullshit.

- One of y'all get her. Get her now.

- SABRINA: I already tried. - Try again.

- Danni, stop it.

- Uh-uh, oh no, Andi. I'm not the child here.

We all standing here trying to act grown.

Let's talk like grown people.

And by the look on that woman's face,

she should know what's going on. Tell her, Zac.

- I do not want to talk about this in the supermarket.

I don't. - Zac.

- So, you really wanna do this here?

- Look, I'm the type of woman who doesn't like bullshit,

hearsay, nor gossip.

- I don't want to do this here. - Let's put it all on the table.

- You can stay if you want. I want to go.

- Damn right, you do. You ain't right, Zac.

- Shut up, Danni. You always--

- You were the one that was just ba*ls deep

in Karen, and the other day you were just telling me

how much you like this woman.

- Danni. Danni. - What?

- We're in the supermarket, actually.

- You know what, Karen? You're the one who told us that

so if you would just... - I told you not to cheat.

- Let's just tell the truth.

- Look, we met in a program.

- You got him into the real estate thing.

- Yes.

- You're the one he's been talking about.

- And we hit it off.

I had no idea when I came to your salon.

- Hold the -- up.

Fatima, you been in the salon too?

Wow, wow.

Am I the only one that thinks this is crazy?

- Shh. - Okay.

- I'm sorry.

- You ain't know. I didn't know.

It's no blame between us. I wish you well with him.

- No, no, no, Karen. Don't fall on the sword.

Just tell the truth. You do not mean that.

- Danni, that's it.

- Andi, everything she was just saying in the car, come on.

- Look at her. Just please. Please.

- DANNI: All right, okay. - Look, I'm really sorry.

- No need.

- Okay, all right, y'all done? 'Cause I'm ready to go.

- Zac.

- I'm telling you I can't do this no more.

I don't owe them nothing. So, let's go. Come on.

Let's go.

- Look, I'm sorry this happened.

Andi, I promise I didn't know.

- It's my fault? Go ahead.

- Bye, Zac. - Bye, Sabrina.

- Wow, Fatima.

- Andi, I'm gonna ask you this one time.

- No, I didn't--I didn't know. I mean, we work together.

I mean, she's nice and she's cool and I like her.

I mean, you met her.

She's--I didn't know, she never said somebody's name.

I promise, Karen.

I did not know. - Okay.

- sh*t, I think we need our own bottle.

- I'm miles ahead of you, baby.

- Okay. - Karen, I didn't know.

- I'll grab some more wine. - Andi.

- ANDI: I'm sorry.

- Andi, b*tch you been missing a lot lately.

- So, you wanna talk about it?

- What's there to talk about?

- Me and her.

- Well, obviously y'all was just -- so...

- Yes, we did.

- You could've told me.

- How was I gonna tell you that? - Well, you could have.

- I was trying not to hurt you, right?

- And you didn't think finding out like that

wasn't gonna hurt?

- You think I planned on meeting up

with them pack of hyenas in the supermarket?

I get it though. It's my fault. I got it.

- Look, I know we're not dating.

All right? - We're not.

Can you please drive more? Are you serious?

Please don't crash this car. Please don't crash this car.

- But I just wish you would've told me.

- I got it. I would have if I knew

that y'all was gonna meet, but I didn't.

- -- first of all, this combative sh*t

don't work with me.

- My fault, I'm not trying to be combative.

I'm just--

- Look, I don't think this is gonna work

and this arrangement.

- Come on, don't do that. Don't do that.

- Don't do what? - That.

So, now I can't stay with you?

- Look, Zac.

I'm really feeling you, but you still into her.

- I'm not into her!

- -- you was literally just in her.

- That's semantics.

I was in her but now I'm in here.

But I'm not into her. We got history.

- Yeah, that you made more of today

so, you can't stay with me.

- So you just want me to leave.

- If I'm not at the front of your mind,

I don't want to be on your mind at all.

- Can you just be on the front of the car?

- Shut up. I got this.

- So you just want me to leave?

- Zac, look.

You got your own money. - Wow.

- You can get your own spot.

- Wow, okay, so, now I got, all right.

You right, I got my own money. I see you.

I see how you are. I see it.

- I'm sorry. - No, don't be sorry.

- Good, 'cause I'm not changing my mind.

- Don't change your mind. I'm fine. I'm good.

Like you said, I got my own money

so, I'm good. - Yeah.

- But I see how you are though.

- And what does that mean? - It means what it says.

You the type of person that you don't know what you want,

but if you don't get what you want when you want,

even though you don't know what you want,

you don't want nothing I'm offering.

- And what are you offering, Zac? -- her.

- I -- her one time. We're not even dating.

I didn't do it on purpose.

I thought this was a no ex zone.

You said that earlier. No ex zone.

- I'm just glad this happened now instead of...

- Instead of what? - Now is better.

'Cause if you had pulled this sh*t

and we was really rocking tough,

I don't know -- , I don't know.

- You don't know what? What, you crazy, like--

- Did you see the way I was holding the knife?

- Yes. And you not watching the road.

Can you please, please don't crash us?

- For the last time, I told you, I got this.

- You got it 'til you don't got it.

So, just for clarity, you said

you better that it happened now, right?

As opposed to later.

Now, I'm just asking because you just said if it happens.

So, does that mean... - Zac.

- I'm just saying, you said I gotta leave,

but does that mean I can't come over?

- [car stereo playing]

- I see you. - Oh, sh*t. What?

- I see you looking at Sabrina's social media.

- I was not.

- b*tch, please, I'm the sneaky one in this house.

You can't get nothing past me.

- All right, I was. So what?

- Why? - I don't know.

I just wanted to see how she was doing.

- Child, this is why I tell people,

do not post everything on social media.

You want your ex to see that you doing well

while you sitting at home miserable as -- .

Acting like you at home, fabulous, doing well.

- I don't know all about that.

- Yeah, you know about it because you're on her page.

You want some wine or something?

- Nah, I'll take a beer though.

- Oh, we're butch tonight.

Get it, girl.

- Maurice.

- What?

- Really, man. What's wrong with me?

- Oh, wow.

We're having a pity party tonight.

Will there be meatballs? - No, seriously.

Why doesn't she want to be with me?

- That's a lot to ask, Calvin. - I know, man.

But her and I, man, we had a thing, man.

We were good. - You were good.

- She wasn't?

- Calvin, Sabrina was getting to know you.

And I think that things were moving a little fast for her.

But I think if you give it some time,

you guys will be back together.

- I don't think so.

Not after the way I talked to her.

- But not with the way you sittin' here

looking at her page. You got to do something bold.

- Bold? - Bold, that's right.

Women love for a man to do something bold and daring.

- Okay. Okay, bold, daring.

- Yeah, you, you gotta grab her by her hair and choke her.

And then hold her tight and knock her head

against the wall and say, "I love you, Dahlia."

- No. Whoa, whoa! Maurice! - MAURICE: [screaming]

I gotta call Devin. I'm sorry.

- Are you all right? - No.

But I gotta say, if you want a different result

you have to do something different.

You're not gonna get a change if you are the same.

My mask.

- CALVIN: What the hell is that on your face?

- It's Devin.

- I'm going to Sabrina's. Um, I can't, I can't.

- Are we not gonna talk about what just happened in there?

- Should've seen it coming.

- Man, I like Zac too, Karen, but he's stupid as sh*t.

- Don't do that.

- No, sleeping with you. - Why is that stupid?

- DANNI: 'Cause he's with that girl.

- Neither of us meant for that to happen.

- Well, it did, Karen.

And you liked it. You were glowing.

- I know, I was present. Thank you.

- So, I stand by my you stupid as sh*t.

- Danni. - SABRINA: Danni, damn.

- Why did you say all that stuff in the supermarket?

sh*t.

- Wow, Fatima. - Girl, look.

All I can say is that Atlanta's really small.

- Especially, the pool of straight men.

And that includes the ones that like vibrators up their a*s.

- I had no idea.

- Really, Andi? You didn't know?

- No. I said I didn't know.

- All right, look. I'm not doubting you.

I'm just asking.

She really never said his name?

- No.

- He never said mine, neither.

- SABRINA: Wow.

- Right.

Aaron and I said his name all the time.

- DANNI: Oh, Karen, that might be the problem.

- Okay, this is her house. Can we kick her out the car?

- Yes, we can. Mm-hmm, yep.

- I'm with that, I rode with Sabrina.

- Yeah, drop her off.

So, I don't have to waste my gas anymore.

- Take me home, too.

- Everybody's just gonna leave me?

- I mean, you can drop me off too, Andi.

- Fine. Karen, you okay?

- How could they be seeing each other

and he not say my name?

- You gotta let that go.

- How? How can I?

- Like he did. - Damn, Danni!

- No, I mean, if you had a man who was seeing someone

and you were just the ex, that wouldn't piss you off?

- Well, yeah.

- All the history, everything just--

I'm just some nameless ex.

- Karen, is that really why you're mad?

- What, I'm supposed to be mad he's with your assistant?

Look, she's a cool chick, okay? I just...

- Yeah. - Damn.

- Like, y'all should've heard all the stuff

he was saying at work about her.

- We don't need to hear that. - No, no, no.

Y'all wanna listen to music?

- No, he was talking about how encouraging she is

and how amazing she is.

And how she makes him feel like a man.

He can do anything.

So, I'm thinking, okay, he really likes her.

Like, wow. - What's the point?

- I'm making it.

- Get there faster. - Yeah, I'm lost too.

- I'm making a point about how men ain't sh*t.

He's supposedly likes her and then bangs Karen in a closet.

- It was my office. - Girl, that's a closet.

It's in there with the shampoo and the perm.

You lucky he didn't mistake it for lube.

A permed coochie. - Danni, Danni.

The difference is that Karen and him have history.

- That's my point.

You think someone with that much history just moves on?

Just bounces around from coochie to coochie, to coochie,

to coochie to banging?

- Okay, you know what? We're home. We're here.

We're at your home. - Yes.

- SABRINA: Open the door? - Yeah, just roll out.

Tuck and roll.

- Hey. - Hey.

- I was just texting you a couple eggplant emojis.

- Right. - How are you?

- A lot better now that you're here.

Listen, before--wait. Before you get to that I gotta--

- [door slams]

- What's up, Zac? - What's up, Danni?

- How you doing? - I'm doing great. How are you?

- I'm great. - Mm, nice.

- Get out. - Nope.

- Yep. - Nope.

- Sit down, Baby. - No.

- If you had not banged Karen, I would not said anything

at the supermarket.

- That's not even your business.

- Oh, Karen's my business.

- Since when you care about Karen?

- You dumb, get out.

- I'm not leaving. Say something else.

- I'll whoop yo a*s. - He said I could stay.

- He did not. He's not that crazy.

- And he fed me.

- I cooked. - You let him eat.

- All of it and it was good. - Okay, I gave him mine.

Yours is still in there. - It was good.

- You can have mine.

- It was good. I ate it.

Agh! - Get out.

- What is wrong? - Get off of him.

- What is wrong with you? - Leave, Zac.

- I'm not-- - No, you banging that chick.

No, no, no.

You banging that chick and then you bang Karen.

- ZAC: You can be a... - No, no, no.

You know, I want him to bang this chick

so, you have to leave, go. - You hit me with a belt.

- I did. - A belt.

- Okay. I will put this down. Okay?

If you leave without a fight. - I'm leaving.

- 'Cause I don't want to fight. - I'm leaving.

Can I just say bye to Preston? - Say it out the door.

- That's my man.

- Wait, y'all been in here talking or something?

- My man. - Y'all been here talking?

- Danni, where's he supposed to go if he leaves now?

- Preston, we don't care, Preston. We don't care.

He eats our food. He interrupts our moments.

Why do you care? - Okay. All of this is true.

I like Zac. He's a nice guy. - I like Preston.

- Well, you know what? Have each other then.

I'll head on back. - I don't like him that much.

- I'm out, Preston. I'm gonna leave you to it.

- Well, you know. - Hey look it's your place.

- Me or him? - Your rules.

- Thank you. I like that.

That's good. Get out.

- Preston, stay safe. Watch out for the belts.

Imma be seeing you, Danni. I'll be seeing you.

- I'll see you at work. Take care of yourself.

- [door slams] - Don't slam my damn door.

What the hell, Preston? - What?

What you just, he can't just come in here.

- I like Zac, but I let him in because he's your friend.

- You know what? - What?

- Nothing. - What?

No, you got something on your mind, say it.

What is it? - You just so fine and cute.

You're a lovely human being.

I just feel like you have a lot to learn.

- How the hell did we get back here?

- Babe, when do we ever leave it?

I didn't leave it. - Okay, you know what?

I'm just gonna let you have your say.

- My say, what does my say mean?

- I keep trying to help you, but you don't want to get better

when I try to help you.

- Wait, wait, wait. So what, what now?

- I mean, I'm trying to help. - Mm-hmm.

- I know you've been hurt and so...

- That's good.

- What? - Go ahead, I'm listening.

I'm trying to learn something right now, go ahead.

- I'm just saying. All right, you know what?

I just, I don't know what to say to you. I don't.

- And that's--you know, that's a start.

Maybe you just shouldn't say anything.

That's good. - Fine, I won't. I won't.

I'll be quiet. - Okay.

Going to the bathroom.

- Not even one call, Calvin?

- [phone ringing]

- Hey. - JACOBI: Yo.

- How are you?

- JACOBI: I was just thinking about you.

- You were?

- JACOBI: Yeah. What you up to?

- Well, I was just sitting here.

- JACOBI: Hey, can I come over? - Damn.

Can I at least tell you what I was doing first?

- JACOBI: [laughing] I'm sorry.

- Well, I was just sitting here having a glass of wine.

- JACOBI: Well, get another glass ready. I'm on my way.

- Jacobi. - JACOBI: Come on.

Don't chicken out now. - Chicken out on what?

- JACOBI: Sabrina, you know what this is.

- What is it?

- JACOBI: Sabrina, what you want?

- I just wanted to talk.

- JACOBI: Okay. So, I'm coming over.

- Jacobi, I didn't say--

we could just talk on the phone, you know?

- JACOBI: I'm not a phone guy. I'll see you in .

- But Jacobi, what I'm saying is--

- JACOBI: See you then.

- Okay.

- [phone vibrating]

- Hey. - Hey, what you doing?

- SABRINA: Um, well... - What?

- I think Jacobi's about to come over here.

- You think?

- I just called him and he said he's on his way.

- Oh, okay. You about to have a booty call.

Good for you. - No. Danni.

- DANNI: So, why did you call him?

- I just want some company.

- DANNI: Okay, friend, that's a booty call.

- No, it's not.

Listen, why does the phone even sound like that?

Are you in the bathroom? - Yeah.

- SABRINA: Well, why don't you just call me when you're done?

- Girl, ain't nobody doing nothing.

- SABRINA: Why, what's going on? Why are you in there?

- I just got into it with Preston again.

- SABRINA: What happened, Danni?

- Well, he said he was trying to save me.

- SABRINA: Oh. - Yeah.

I mean, help me, but same damn thing.

- Okay, well, there is a difference.

What did he actually say?

- All right, Sabrina.

Do lifeguards and/or save or help people? Huh?

- I don't think that the man is trying to save you. Okay?

I just--I just think that he is trying to show you

a different way. - I don't like it.

- SABRINA: I know this very well.

'Cause you don't even like it when we try to help you with it.

- DANNI: No, I don't. - You don't.

You argue us down because you just always have to be right.

- I just don't want somebody trying to fix me.

- SABRINA: Here you go ignoring me

because you don't want to admit I'm right.

- Sabrina, I do not think you are completely right.

No, I don't. - Okay, Danni.

If you don't mind, I'm actually gonna go.

- DANNI: Oh, is he there? - Not yet.

- DANNI: Oh you need to shave your chocha.

- You know what?

I'm gonna hang up the phone now.

- Oh, you need to shave your chocha.

- Bye, Danni. We're not doing anything.

- DANNI: Don't let him hurt you, girl.

- Okay, I gotta go.

- Girl, that's not what the kitty's saying.

I can hear it meowing from here.

- Okay, Danni, I gotta go. - DANNI: Bye.

- You know what? Take your own advice

and talk to that man. - DANNI: Shave, girl.

- Bye. - I hope she shaved.

- You okay? - KAREN: Yeah, yeah.

I'm--I'm fine. I'm good. - Are you sure?

- Yeah, I just need to get some sleep, that's all.

- ANDI: Okay, well, do that.

- I kinda wanna call Aaron.

- ANDI: Really? - Yeah.

- Or do you wanna call Zac? - KAREN: Should I call Zac?

- Karen, you have to make up your mind.

- He's with someone though, I mean...

- Look, I don't think you should call him.

- [phone ringing] - Hold on a second.

Hello.

Yes, this is strange, he has a key.

Send him up. Thanks.

- KAREN: Who's that? - Gary.

- Gary? He's there?

- ANDI: Yes.

- Okay. - Okay?

- KAREN: I ain't gonna say nothing.

- Thank you.

- KAREN: Yeah. I'll--uh, I'll let you go.

- He's gotta come up the elevator.

- Okay, well, I gotta go.

- ANDI: What are you going to do?

- I don't know. I really don't.

- Okay, well, you need to let me know what you decide.

- KAREN: Okay, nosey, I'll let you know about my life.

- All right, see you tomorrow. - Bye.

- [knock at door]

- Hey. - Hey.

- What happened to your key?

- I don't know. - That's strange.

- Yeah. I was at the hotel.

I couldn't find my house keys or my car keys.

I think the housekeeper at the hotel might have misplaced them.

It's all right.

I called them, they're looking for them.

- Speaking of hotels...

Why don't you move in here?

- Are you serious? - Yes.

- Okay.

- What does that mean?

- What did your girls say?

- Well, they love me. - I know they love you.

But they also think I'm a jealous as*h*le jerk.

- Well, we have been through a lot.

- We have.

- But they're my girls.

- Do they know everything? - Yeah.

- All right, this is gonna be hard.

- I know.

- Can you do me a favor? - Sure.

- Can you, like, not tell your girls everything?

- That is a lesson I'm learning.

- Me too. Speaking of lessons.

Do you know what else I'm learning?

- What?

- Just how much I love you. - Mm-hm.

And how sexy you are. - Mm-hm.

- And how much I love making love to you.

- Really? - Mm-hm.

- I don't really believe that part.

- Is that right? - No, I don't.

No, I don't. Something about it.

- Hmm, so, how do I change that?

- It's pretty easy. - Yeah.

- Yeah. - Oh.

- Yeah. - I can do that.

- [knock at door]

- Hi. - Hey.

- Why did you come over here?

- So, now you gonna make me beg? Hmm? Hmm?

- Oh, I see you came empty handed too.

- I'm sorry.

You know, my momma didn't raise me right.

- Mm-hm.

- So, can I come in, ma'am?

Thank you.

- Why did you just come over here like this?

- Sabrina, so, what, we acting like kids?

- You want some wine? - Yeah, sure.

Come on, Sabrina. - What?

- You want me and I want you. All right?

- How can you be so sure?

- [laughs]

Okay. All right, I get it, you know?

You're trying to play hard to get. Mm-hm.

- I'm not playing hard. - Okay.

- What? Look at you, spilling everywhere.

- I'm sorry. I'm a little messy.

Look, I get it. You know, you the good girl.

You gotta protect your rep. I get all of it.

- Okay, Jacobi, this is not the 's.

- Right. That's what I'm saying. Come on.

So, why we acting like this? - Acting like what?

- Boy, okay. You know what?

I didn't come empty handed.

- I got that good. - Mmm.

- Mm-hmm. - Mm.

You know that we test at work?

- Uh, uh, uh, you test at work.

And I brought it for you.

- I don't really think that we should do this.

- Oh, come on, Sabrina.

So, what, we gonna think about work or come on,

we gonna make this night special?

- Every night is special to me. I love life.

- Right, and I love your lips.

- Jacobi. - What? I'm gonna kiss 'em.

- No. - If you hate it...

then I'll leave. - Okay.

- Just what I thought. Right. Uh-huh.

Mm-hm. What? You good?

- I'm fine. - Mm-hm.

- Uh-huh.

You know nothing's gonna happen, right?

- Okay. - And I mean that.

- All right. - I mean it.

- I get it.

- Jacobi, I really mean that okay.

- Okay. Whatever you say.

- I mean, we could lay in the bed

but nothing is going to happen.

- Whatever you say. - I mean that.

- Okay. I said all right. - All right.

- I said whatever you say.

- Damn. That thing is crazy.

- Well, you got me that way.

- How big is that?

- See for yourself.

- Okay. I don't know if I'm--hmm.

Okay, Jacobi, maybe-- - Come on.

- Maybe you can lay on top of me,

but, like, I don't want to do anything else.

- Whatever you say. - Okay.

- We ain't gotta go there. - Okay, good.

- I got you.

- I was taking out the trash.

I'm sorry.

- DANNI: I'm sorry too.

- It's just sometimes...

I just don't know what to say.

- No, you don't.

No, it's not all you.

I just, I get really sensitive about some things.

- Okay, and I get that. That's fine.

I mean, who doesn't?

We can all be that way sometimes.

- It's just different for me, Preston.

- What's--what's so different?

- You white. - I am?

No, seriously though, but what else?

- I don't know. My past relationships

have just been different.

- What's wrong with something new?

- Nothing, I didn't say anything was wrong.

- I don't think so. - That's kinda what I mean.

Like, people assume so much about me.

I don't know.

I just don't want anyone trying to fix me.

- Danni, I'm not. - Hold on.

- I'm not trying to fix you. - Or save me.

- Okay. - Or help me.

That's what you said right? - Right, right.

I didn't say fix. I didn't say save.

I said help.

And I do feel like there's some things

that you need help with.

- What?

- There's just a few areas. That's it.

- All right. As I've said, I have one, possible two,

like maximum two things that I am working on.

- It's my opinion.

Look, I mean, I think there are some areas

that you do need some help with.

- Preston, I only need your help for the rent.

And the car payment. And the gas.

And the light bill. Just the utilities.

- Look, will you stop that?

I've paid the rent for months.

The other stuff we can discuss later

but you're good on your rent.

Danni, what are you doing?

- I'm about to give you some head.

- Okay, look stop playing unless you're serious.

- I'm playing a little bit.

Hell, I'm not playing.

Thank you for paying my rent.

- I should've paid it for the whole year.

- Oh my gosh, yes. - Okay, look, stop playing.

Let's get back on track with what we were talking about.

I wasn't talking about paying the rent.

I was just talking about helping each other.

- Okay.

As I have said, I have one, maybe two, like maximum things

that I am working on for myself, yes, no?

And I don't want your help. I want to do it for myself.

- Okay. I mean, I can respect that.

- Thank you.

- But can I ask you something? - Mm-hm.

- There are some things that I need to work on

and I need your help to do that.

- That's different.

You asked, so I will help you.

- Okay, good. - Thank you.

- For what? - You know what?

Just take it, I don't want to explain.

- From you, I will take that.

- Wait, can we eat now?

- Um, whatever Zac didn't eat.

So, we'll probably have to split.

No, you can have it.

- Don't--don't let him in here again.

- Whatever you say. - That ain't your friend.

- Okay. All right, you're right.

He's your friend. - Just order something, sh*t.

- Okay, but look, before we do that,

there's one more thing that I need to tell you.

Calm down.

- If your sister is outside I will spontaneously combust.

- No, no, she is not outside.

I told you I wasn't gonna make that mistake again.

- What is it?

- My mother's outside. - Preston.

- I--I'm joking. I'm joking. I'm joking.

- You damn sure better be. I think I'm having a stroke.

- I was. - I smell toast.

- My sister told my mother about you

and she wants to meet you.

- So this how I go.

- No, Danni. Don't overreact.

- You smell burning toast right?

- No, I don't smell anything. - I'm stroking out.

- No, you're fine. - Mm-mm, mm-mm.

- Look. - Does your momma like tea?

- What are you talking about? - Like, in nice little china?

And stir it as Black people drink it?

- What the hell are you talking about?

I'm just talking about dinner.

- Can we--can we discuss this over dinner?

- I told you, Zac ate everything.

- You know what? I can't deal with you.

- Look, we're going to see my momma.

That's all I know.

Come on, let's go find something to eat.

It'll be all right.

- Oh my God. - [moaning]

- sh*t. - [knock at the door]

- Wait. Who is that? - No don't stop.

- Wait a second. - Don't stop. No.

- But Jacobi, you've been doing this for a while now.

- I'm close. - It's not pleasurable.

You're not close. - Oh, come on.

I'm sorry. - I have to get it.

- No, please. - I have to get it.

- Come on, don't open it. - Come on. I want to.

- No. - It's probably Danni.

You know she [unintelligible]. - [knock at door]

- Okay, I gotta get it.

I gotta, let me, get me down.

Get me down. - -- ! Okay.

- Why you playing like that?

- What? - Don't.

I wanna get==get me down.

No. Just give me a second.

Do you take something? - What you mean?

- Why won't it go down? - Sabrina, come.

There's only one way to get it down.

- Will you stop? - Agh, -- .

- Danni, why are you always coming...

- Hey. - Hi.

- I know this is a surprise. - Yes, it is.

- I was gonna call, but I didn't know what to say.

- Calvin.

- You got something to drink? It'd be easier to say.

- Uh, yeah, I just feel like maybe you could call me later.

- Oh, um. - JACOBI: Hey, Sabrina.

You okay?

- Dude from the bank? - Calvin, I'm just--

- Nah, it's cool. It's cool, it's cool.

- Do you want to talk about it?

- Baby, is that you? - No, baby, it's me.

- What the hell are you doing in my house?

- You know, I'm done.

I am so done, I can't take it anymore.

I'm not gonna take it.

- How the hell did you get in my house?

- I'm not gonna take this anymore.

- Get the -- out of my house, Jasmine.

- -- you b*tch. I ain't going nowhere.

- Jasmine, what the -- are you doing here?

Get out of here. - Okay.

- [g*nshots] - [screams]

- Baby. Baby.

No, Jasmine, don't do this.

Jasmine, don't do this. Don't do this.

- Shut up. - No, stop, please.

Jasmine, stop. Stop, please.
